THE fitness regime of leisure centre regular Leanne Seymour has helped her scoop a top prize.

She took part in a challenge laid down by staff to people who use the centre, in Bedale, to tackle five of the largest man-made structures in the world.

But the participants climbed all of them without ever leaving the comfort of the gym - using a Technogym stepper machine.

The three fastest up the Empire State Building were put into a draw for a month's free Silver Membership of the Lifestyles Fitness Studio.

And Leanne, who travels from Masham to use the centre, was the winner.
